{\noindent {\large {\bf Research Statement and Synergistic Activities}}}

Ravi Sundaram joined Northeastern in  the fall of 2003.
His primary research interest is algorithms and game theory in
the context of network security. He is interested in approximation 
algorithms for the stable and efficient utilization
of networks. He has been doing active research into the area of
network formation and Nash equilibria with applications to social
and computer networks. His work involves a blend of algorithms, computational
complexity and combinatorics.

Prior to Northeastern he was a Director of Engineering at Akamai
Technologies, where he played a critical role in the buildout of
the world's leading content delivery network; he established the
mapping group which is responsible for directing browser requests
(over 10 billion a day) to the optimal Akamai server. He is also
the co-inventor of two security related patents (pending) at
Akamai that are currently in use at some of the leading government
and commercial websites. He has 12 patents pending at this point.

At Northeastern Ravi Sundaram introduced a course on 
Network Security for undergraduates. The course has a new curriculum 
coupled with hands on projects. He has received good reviews from 
the students.
